Dreams of Victorian grandeur and commercial prominence awaited the Port Townsend of 1880's. One such visionary was Albert Bash who arrived in 1881 and worked as a customs collector for the Puget Sound region. His father, Henry C. Bash, followed in 1883 to take up duties as an Inspector of Customs, and soon, as U.S. Shipping Commissioner. Although, Henry had a large office at the U.S. Customs House, now the Post Office on Washington Street, he often had visitors present themselves at his home in the main parlor (now the Dining Room at the Inn) bearing gifts of coral and exotic birds, which now reside at Jefferson County Historic Museum.
After entering the front door of the Inn, ascend the grand staircase to the second floor, where the four guest rooms are located. Each room is located on a corner of the house, adding privacy & comfort for our guest. The rooms are very spacious, with high ceilings, lots of windows, and each has a private bath. Each room is lovingly decorated in it's own unique style and named after periods of British history.
Located in the long hallway is the tea/coffee bar where you will find an assortment of tea and fresh coffee in the morning, a frig stocked with soda & crisps to snack on, and a spectacular huge old English sideboard.
